I noticed that you installed the Roland Sands Design bar-ends; how do you like them, any issues with them loosening up? I installed them on the recent beach-bar project on the First Edition; however, it seems like they will be prone to loosening up over time and I really couldn't install them as tight as I wanted to - any tips?
 
lowered the back end. YSS suspension 2.5” drop at the rear fender. The ride is very silky

Does anyone know about the internal workings of the front shocks? Is there a spacer in there that can be cut shorter by an inch to lower the front?

Finalizing the beach-bar handlebars install; waiting on Mini-LED Directionals as a final last touch, installed the BILTWELL mirrors - which appear to be of very nice quality. Installed Roland Sands Speedometer Case, Headlight Ring, Bar-Ends and a Walz-Werks Headlight lowering kit.

looks great, are those the long or short stem?
 
Cleaned her and put the stock windscreen back on it. Love the looks of the stock R18B windscreen but like the protection of the T/C windscreen better, I hope I can ride with stock windscreen because I really don’t want to switch back.
